Our new bleachers were delivered last week to the Fairgrounds. We expected them to arrive on a flat-bed truck so we could use equipment to unload them, but they arrived in an enclosed van-trailer. That changed our unloading plans! We unloaded by hand several tons of aluminum bleacher parts. Looking at their building plans, I am reminded of an erector set that we once bought my son, only this is way bigger! Thankfully, I’ve received some offers of help to get this project built when we get some nice weather. If the sun starts shining we will be...
A proposal for the Town of Cathlamet to cut its sewer connection fee to $100 makes sense to me. The reasoning, say town officials, is lower fees will draw more connections and customers to the system, and that by having more customers of the sewer system, the financial load of operating the system and constructing a new wastewater treatment plant would be lower. The council is considering another proposal that would raise rates from $45 per month for town residents to $80 per month in June, 2014. Rates for out-of-town customers would increase f...

Estimated water loss for that break was a gallon a minute, said Tramblie. During the early hours of Saturday, the water crew installed two bypass meters around three v...

Olivia Stahn wanted to see the countryside while she traveled the United States, so she spent a week volunteering at Carol Carver and George Exum’s Island’s End Farm on Puget Island.

Eating organic foods are important to many Germans, said Stahn, adding that the country as a whole had been ecologically minded for many years. Stahn and Carver first communicated through the website of World Wide Opportunities on O...

“We had the greatest day of our lives,” said fifth grade student Kayla Wisner when asked about the class canoe trip through the Elochoman Slough. “We saw some amazing things; like a sea lion, a sea otter and even some King-Fishers. We sang songs. We went really fast too!” McKenzie Miller and her colleagues with the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership (LCREP) hosted the kids as an extension of a classroom program on local watersheds. LCREP is one of 28 programs in the National Estuary Program that works to protect and restore the nationa...
Officials from the Town of Cathlamet and Wahkiakum County agreed Tuesday to continue discussions of the town's request for support of a temporary relocation of the Bradley Library to the Cathlamet Food Mart Building in Rosedale. Commissioners Dan Cothren and Lisa Marsyla indicated they would consider contributing to rent payments, but they showed little support for the town's request to waive sewer connection fees for the mini-mall. "Those are two separate issues," Cothren commented. The town is looking for temporary quarters for the library,...
